Major Abdullah Khalifa al Muhannadi, Director of Support Services for Recruitment, said in a seminar on Thursday said the new policy would make the recruitment procedures easy and transparent. It will also be on great convenience to the domestic workers as the verification of contracts, documentation by the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs and medical examinations will be done before they leave their country.Mohannadi said that a number of new services will be activated, which will provide more facilities that will serve all the recruitment agencies through the existing cooperation between the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor and Social Affairs with its counterpart in the Philippines.Mohannadi added that the procedures in Qatar visa centers will be as brief as possible, including canceling the visa stamp, which will facilitate the procedures for its issuance, in addition to some other procedures that reduce time and effort.Mohannadi gave a presentation on the procedures that are being implemented at Qatar Visa Center in the Philippine capital, Manila, the recruitment mechanism, and the mechanism for authorizing recruitment agencies, in addition to the contact points providing the necessary information.He noted that upon completion of the procedures of the Philippine Department of Labor and Employment, an appointment is reserved for the applicant to visit the Qatar Visa Center with the required documents, which include (passport, appointment letter, educational qualifications if necessary, and the Philippine Department of Labor certificate).Regarding the delegation, Al Mohannadi stated that the applicant can authorize the recruitment office to carry out his transactions through the application of Metrash 2 or through the electronic services of the Ministry of Interior, or any of the ministry's service sites.In September, 2019, the State of Qatar inaugurated the Qatar Visa Center in the Philippine capital, Manila, within the framework of the project (Qatar Visa Centers Abroad), which was launched in 2018 and targets a number of labor-exporting countries to Qatar.
